Yeah. Mine is doing this right now. DANG IT! Water is getting in real bad too causing the lens to fog up.

I dont know if your car is under warranty still but, that's how Im fixing mine ... getting a new one.

I lost one on the road and ended up replacing both housings. I had taken the light apart to paint the large chrome area inside. Your best bet may be to heat the gluey stuff so that it grips better... I dunno!?
